Maybe I've just been lucky, but all I did was to rotate the rotator to one stop and wrap the coax several times around the mast fairly loiosely - turning the rotator to the opposite stop then loosens the winding but doesn't  present any kind of a loop to snag or rub on anything. I have done it this way for 25 years without a single failure, using either RG-8 and (most recently) LMR-400 without any casing.

73, Pete N4ZR
